The home screen features many of the most popular sports. A great example of the depth of information this app will provide you is the fact that the Futbol section has 14 different options spanning from the English Premier League to Major League Soccer (MLS). Also, the LocalTap page will show the schedule and results of all sports teams within a given radius of your current location. Great implementation as most people are huge fans of the sports teams that are located around them.

Once you select a sport (and then a league), you can see the results of all the games played (as well as previous dates’ results and future dates’ schedules). Also, below the scoreboard is a group of Recent Stories relating to the league that you are looking at. Having related news stories updated right along with the scores is a great feature. Even better is the fact that the news articles open in the app so there’s no hassle with switching to the browser. Further below you can access the entire standings for the selected league.

From this page, you can then select individual games to get an entire game summary. In this example, you can see who scored each goal, who was booked, who was substituted, and more. Additionally (for this sport), the Lineups tab will show which players started, when players were substituted for, who scored, etc.

A great aspect of SportsTap is that you can customize the app by adding your favorite teams. Once you do this, you can turn on notifications that will alert you to when your favorite team’s game starts. On top of this, you will receive periodic score updates and an update to the final result. There is also a widget offered with this app that will provide news and updates on your favorite teams.

Another point of customization is how often you want SportsTap to update scores, with 1 minute being the shortest interval. It’s important to note that this app does a very good job at accurately updating live scores to keep you as up to date as possible while you’re on the go.

Overall, SportsTap is your best bet for staying up to date with all the leagues, teams, and players you care the most about. If you’re a sports enthusiast, you can’t go wrong here; you’re going to find yourself using this reliable app everyday.
